one is the obama administration looked the other way when russian interests were trying to get a foothold here during hillary clinton's tenure at the state department. that was in one or two articles. bill clinton gave a very expensive speech in russia and soon thereafter hillary clinton was sitting on the board of a group. she had decision-making power, a group that allowed, had jurisdiction over who would get uranium rates. 20% went to russian interests. it's easy to connect the dots for americans to understand. i think the reason the democrats are saying nothing to see here, i know nothing is because nobly wants to take response building. this is exactly why a significant majority of americans up until election day last year said they find hillary clinton to neither be honest nor trustworthy. they feel like there is something dirty and irrefutable going on. now they've got everybody saying i don't know. somebody was involved. i have seen anywhere from a few million dollars to $9 million in reporting. the last time a party spent several million dollars and couldn't figure out whether th
